Sword Tussock Grass – Soft flowing foliage with exceptional toughness

Poa ensiformis, commonly known as Sword Tussock Grass or Purple-Sheath Tussock Grass, is a graceful Australian native ornamental grass valued for its fine arching foliage, elegant form and adaptability to a wide range of garden conditions. Naturally occurring in woodlands and forests across south-eastern Australia, this attractive evergreen grass brings year-round texture, movement and softness to Melbourne gardens, making it ideal for native landscapes, mass planting and naturalistic garden designs.

Elegant Texture For Australian Landscapes

Poa ensiformis is a versatile native grass that adds a natural softness and flowing movement to any landscape.
